I am having trouble fixing my black screen of death, I have tried updating my BIOS and tried re-inserting my ram stick. Both method didn't work, I am only able to see what's on my monitor when I connect it to my tv with an HDMI cable. Any solutions for this problem? Answers would be much appreciated.

Hello @Nielxtian
Welcome to the HP Support forum.
Did the problem started recently ? Have you performed some changes or updates around the time the problem started ? Please, let me know
HP has create an official article about such issues you experience now >> https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03518165
It can guide you fix the problem. I will quote the solution:
3. If an image displays on the external monitor, there might be a graphics driver conflict with the notebook LCD display. With the external monitor connected, (.....) install the latest graphics and chipset drivers for your specific computer. If there is an updated BIOS version available, use the steps in Updating the BIOS to install it.
Here is how to update your drivers >> https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03330139
If you have updated the chipset and graphics drivers and BIOS, but the notebook display still remains black, the LCD might be defective. Contact HP for technical assistance or send the notebook for service.
